Their rejection of Jesus Christ is not their defining characteristic. They are God’s chosen people.
I have a lot of crap about replacement theology That was/is promoted by the Catholic Church. I can find nothing in scripture that makes that claim for Jesus and for God’s abandonment of Israel or the Jewish people.
It also flies in the face of god’s attributes and character. He knows all the futures but made a promise that He knew that He would not keep? Sound bizarre to me and not in His character.
If God were to do that to His chosen people then what about my salvation. Is God going to change his mind again? Did God lie to Abraham and Israel? Did He lie about my salvation? So when did God become able to be evil? I thought that was not part of who He is
I'd say it sure is TODAY. Otherwise, they'd be Christians.
Jews are not like pagans or Buddhists or Hindus, etc. They are distinct from those other "religious" groups in that they were not created in a vacuum without the benefit of Divine revelation.
I can find nothing in scripture that makes that claim for Jesus and for Gods abandonment of Israel or the Jewish people.
Do you find anything in Scripture that explains why there hasn't been a Prophet in more than two thousand years, and why even devout Jews no longer practice the ancient ritual sacrifices in the Temple?
